Enter Mrs. Blodget, l. 

Mrs B. Oh, dear, was ever anyone so tormented. I put 
that advertisement in the Herald more for amusement than 
anything else, and for the last three days I've had the life 
worried out of me with applicants for m3 r hand in marriage. 
And such applicants! Why I would actually rather wed my 
servant, Chris, than any man that has been here yet, and 
goodness knows I wouldn't marry him — 



S3 WANTED A HUSBAND. 

Enter Chris, r. 

— If he was the last man on earth. 

Chris, (coming forward) Py gracious, I vos glad uf dot. 
j Mrs B. {starts) Glad of what? 

Chris. You sait dot vos dhe last feller, und dot makes me 
glad. 

Mrs B. The last fellow ! What do you mean ? 

Chris. I mean dot feller vot I got down in dhe hall. 

Mrs B. What, another man ? How provoking ! I am reap- 
ing the fruits of my folly. 

Chris. Dots vots dhe matter. Dot feller vot I got down 
dhere looks like he'd been reaped before he vos quite ripe ! 

Mrs B. Ha! ha! Good for j'ou, Chris. Well, I might as 
well see him and be done with it. But what kind of a looking 
man is he, Chris? 

Chris. Veil, he vas apout so wide, (illustrates) Und 
, apout so high. (illustrates 

Mrs B. Then he is a short (or tall) man. I always admir- 
ed short men. The first lover I ever had was a short man. 

Chris. Me do. Und dis feller vares his hair short (or long) 
doo. 

Mrs B. And so did my adored Jerry. (studies 

Chris. Veil, vot ve goin' to do mit him? 

Mrs B. True, I had forgotten him entirely. See here, 
Chris, if this fellow down stairs acts anything like that man 
that was here yesterday, I shall want your assistance in 
ejecting him from the premises. 
- Chris. I vill be right dhere, you bade you. 

Mrs B. Now we might as well have an understanding. 
Now if I want you to put him out I will slap you on the back 
this way. (illustrates) And I shall expect you to be prompt, 
and throw him out of the house without hesitation. Do you 
understand? 

Chris. Yah! Yah! I fersthay you. Bed you I vill make 
him valk off his ear dhe house oud. (starts off, r., comes back, 
to Mrs. Blodget) Say, better you slap me on dhe pack now, 
und let me go for him. 

Mrs B. No, no! Not now. He may be a gentleman, who 
knows. Bring him up at once, (exit Chris, r.) I don't know 
why it is, but the description Chris gave me of this man has 
put me to thinking of my old lover, Jerry Collyer. I wonder 
what ever became of him. (sits) We were engaged to be 
married, but we had a lover's quarrel and I gave him back his 
ring, and before my anger subsided Mr. Blodget proposed and 
was accepted, and the old adage, "Marry in haste and repent 
at leisure," has been a true one in my case. But Jerry was 
more to blame than I was, and if it hadn't been for his Eng-
